Hunger Doesn’t Take a Summer Break
More people are turning to us as food, fuel and school costs rise. You can help us keep up.
Renfrewshire Foodbank Summer Appeal 2026
This summer, Renfrewshire Foodbank is warning that the school holidays make an already acute situation worse. When schools close, free school meals disappear overnight. Food costs rise. Donations fall. For families already at their limit, summer can tip a difficult situation into a crisis.
Linda Kelly, CEO of Renfrewshire Foodbank, said:
“Emma’s story is one we hear in different forms almost every week. Someone who was managing – until they weren’t. What makes it remarkable is that she’s willing to tell it, because she knows how many people suffer in silence out of shame. There is no shame in needing help. That’s what we’re here for. And this summer, we need Renfrewshire to be here for us.”
That is why we are launching our summer appeal and asking for financial donations – however big or small – to give individuals, couples and families the dignity of knowing their children won’t go hungry.
Because hunger doesn’t take a summer break. Every pound donated stays in Renfrewshire.
